H&R Pardner 12ga Turkey Gun 22" barrel

[Mowoodsman]

Anyone have any experience with the H&R Pardner 12ga pump Turkey model with a 22" Chambered in 3"?  I found one brand new in box for $197 and wanted to use it as a back up gun.  Here's the link.

a hunting buddy of mine bought one a couple of years ago, the gun shot and functioned fine, the thing that I didn't like was it weighs about as much as a tank

Surehuntsalot, I kind of like the idea that it weighs more to soak up some recoil.  I thought for the price it was a steal because it's basically a copy of the 870.  Only thing I didn't like is that it's made in China by Norinco.  I guess I'll be buying a back up tonight.
